As a hack developer myself, not that your a hack :), I usually don’t ask this but since I kind of collect VB stuff now and there really isn’t a great emulator available I will ask. What is the projected release? Are we talking weeks, months or a year or two? Feel free to give me the normal response of “when its ready”
Also, as far as I/O is concerned, I see that Reality Boy supports controllers hooked to external port such as com and lpt ports. Be aware the the gentelman at this site, http://www.sealiecomputing.com/retrozone/index.html, is making me a USB chip.conversion for the original VB controller. It will be seen as a Windows device and hence will require Direct Input code in the emulator.
